An Enchanted Wedding Celebration at The Prado with Floral Decor by Blush Botanicals

By Blush Botanicals, February 18, 2013 Flowers

We love being creative, and going “all out” for excited couples who are passionate about working with us! Our favorite part of what we do is seeing the finished product come together on the wedding day.

We recently had the honor of creating the floral decor for Tanya and Cameron’s big day at the The Prado in Balboa Park.

Tanya chose a beautiful and meaningful bridal bouquet of soft ivory, blush and grey tones, complete with texture and detail. The handle was finished in ivory satin, and included aspects from the bridal gown, as well as photos of family members.

What started with a few inspiration photos from Tanya and Cameron gave us quickly became a completely customized look. Following their color scheme of deep reds, burgundy, and natural green tones, we created unique groomsman boutonnieres and bridesmaid bouquets. The colors used were a nice complement to their grey satin dresses!

The reception at The Prado was enhanced with candles, which were presented in clear and mercury glasses. The room had a beautiful glow, and it set the mood for a romantic evening.

The head table, which was focal point of the room, was draped in beautiful crushed champagne linen and gold Chiavari chairs. Details of the table included mercury glass vessels of varying sizes. The eclectic vases and candles were separated by two tall Manzanita branch centerpieces.

We placed two types of centerpieces around the reception area. First, we used natural brown Manzanita branches, which were presented in custom stained-wood boxes. We draped deep red, burgundy and natural green blooms from the branches, as well as glowing hanging candles. These stunning arrangements helped to create drama and beauty throughout the room.

The next centerpiece was designed by filling a mercury glass vase with richly colored florals. Vases were separated by tall mercury glass candle holders, which paired beautifully with the gold chargers set out for each guest.

We appreciated Tanya and Cameron’s trusting nature, and their energy throughout the planning process. It is always refreshing to work with a young couple who is so in love, and so energized about their big day! The florals came together beautifully, and set the tone for an enchanted evening!

An Elegant Vintage Wedding at Calamigos Ranch with Flowers by The Hidden Garden

By The Hidden Garden, January 31, 2013 Flowers

At The Hidden Garden, we create a wedding day for the bride and groom that truly displays their style and personal touch. Starting with the very first conversation, we ask questions of our wedding couple to help them express their personalities. We consider ourselves “flower therapists” in this way :) By the end of the process, we are prepared and ready to design the perfect florals, tailored uniquely to each couple.

The Hidden Garden recently worked closely with Kelsie and Christopher for their wedding at Calamigos Ranch, located in the heart of the Malibu wine country.

We designed all of the floral arrangements for this gorgeous wedding. To ensure the look and feel of the wedding was cohesive, we also assisted with the decor. Kelsie and Christopher wanted an elegant and romantic wedding with a vintage vibe.

To carry out the vintage look and feel, we incorporated this classic sofa from Found Vintage Rentals just outside of the ceremony space

We adore this photo of Kelsie holding her bridal bouquet of garden roses in shades of light pink. You can see a glimpse of the bouquet handle, which we treated with lace and a vintage broach.

Because Kelsie and Christopher love lush flowers (mainly garden roses in all soft blush tones), we used tons for the ceremony site. It was a beautiful moment when Kelsie’s father walked her down the aisle, which was carpeted with rose petals.

Kelsie and Christopher said their vows underneath a hundred year old Oak Tree, which was decorated with ivy, chandeliers and cascading twinkle lights. The bride and groom, along with the wedding party, stood elevated above the guests for a grand ceremony.

After the ceremony, guests headed over to the tented reception. The crystal chandeliers, white drapes, and twinkle lights created an ambiance of vintage elegance.

We decorated the Sweetheart Table at the reception with lush pink and white garden roses, with a touch of natural greenery. To carry out the theme, ee paired the table with matching vintage printed chairs.

We helped Kelsie & Christopher choose their linens, chairs, table settings, furniture and other decor details. Every decision was perfectly planned out, and it all came together seamlessly!

Kelsie wanted the wedding to have a romantic touch throughout. We especially love this photo of them with their combined name, “Kelstopher,” printed on a pillow.

Kelsie and Christopher wanted to add a sense of nostalgia to the wedding, so they brought along a functioning ferris wheel for guests to enjoy! The ferris wheel, along with a mini carnival, was set up on the lawn at Calamigos Ranch. What a fun idea!

Everyone at The Hidden Garden has a real passion for what we do. Our wedding clients often become our friends, and we continue to share many other joyous occasions even after the wedding day has passed. Congrats to Kelsie and Christopher!

A Ranch Style Wedding with Lace, Burlap and Blush Botanicals

By Blush Botanicals, January 14, 2013 Flowers

It is such an honor to be asked by a peer in the industry to help design their very own wedding. We had so much fun working with Rachel of I Do Weddings on her own wedding since, as a wedding planner, we work with her all the time on a professional level.

Rachel came in knowing the exact look she wanted to achieve for her big day, and trusted us with the details. She was an absolute dream to work with, and we loved every second of it!

The wedding was held at Serenity Oaks Ranch, a picturesque private estate in rural Valley Center. The lovely outdoor venue featured acres of open space, as well as beautiful oaks trees. The natural surroundings perfectly complemented the soft wedding colors such as as blush and ivory.

Rachel carried an organic bouquet of soft blush and ivory tones, with cool blue succulent accents, and loads of texture. The hand-tied bouquet was finished in a burlap wrapping, with delicate buttons running down the length of the handle.

We used similar tones for Mike and his groomsmens’ boutonnieres, incorporating the soft blue succulents and natural twine for texture.

These adorable flower girls walked down the aisle carrying large blush garden roses, adorned with simple, whimsical ribbon.

The couple got married under a large tree, which allowed them to get a bit creative. Two vintage, whitewashed window frames were hung, and accented with soft blush and ivory tones.

The reception was set with two unique table tops. Round tables, which were covered in burlap, were topped with eclectic bud vases paired with mercury glass candle holders. Long wooden banquet tables were topped with our unique lace runners, as well as tall footed candle holders wrapped in a burlap accent.

Rachel and Mike wanted to create a romantic, organic and warm feeling for their big day. By staying heavy on candlelight, natural textures and soft tones, we were able to create a very inviting atmosphere.
